The recent snow storms in Northern Indiana and Michigan aren't scaring the IceMen as
they prepare to hit the road for the first time this season. The team is heading out early
Friday morning on a three game trip that will see them play a pair of games against the
Detroit Dragons on Friday and Saturday, and finishing up against the Chi-Town Shooters
on Sunday evening.

The IceMen practiced hard on Thursday night to prepare to face off against the 2-0
Dragons on their home ice. ""We're ready to try to slay the Dragons", head coach Jason
Reichart said. "Right now, they're the top team in the AAHA. In a four team league you
see the other teams a lot and if you want to win a Championship you have to find a way
to beat everyone. We feel good about our team and we're excited about the trip.

The IceMen will head to Chi-Town on Sunday to try to avenge a 5-3 loss in the teams
home opener last Friday.

The IceMen will hit the ice at home again on Saturday, November 29th against the Battle
Creek Revolution. The game is sponsored by WOW! and the first 300 fans at the game
that night will receive a free gift, courtesy of WOW! Tickets are available by contacting
the IceMen office.

November 15th, 2008 will go down as a historic day
in Evansville professional sports history. The
Evansville IceMen, of the All American Hockey
Association, defeated the Battle Creek Revolution
3-2.

The IceMen started the scoring late in the first
period when C.J. Schneider skated through the
Revolution defense, along with local products Isaac
Coy and Shawn Lee, and put in the first goal of the
night. The Revolution responded just 52 seconds
later when, on the power play, Nigel Hawrylow
pushed the puck into the net.

The Revolution took the lead late in the second
period on Hawrylow's second goal of the game.

The IceMen entered the third period down by one.
It took less then two minutes for the game to get
knotted up again, when C.J. Schneider put in his
second goal of the night, assisted by Matt Hoon and
Isaac Coy. Ten minutes later the IceMen took the
lead when Dan Kohanchuk flew into the Revolution
zone on a breakaway and made an amazing move
to net the puck. The IceMen held on for the historic
first victory.

IceMen goaltender Matt Wagner had a fantastic
game, for the second night in a row, making 50
saves in the victory. The crowd of 1028 went home
very happy with their newest professional sports
team.

"This is a great night for our team and for the city of
Evansville", General Manager Chip Rossetti said
after the game. "We have worked so hard to
prepare for today and the guys played hard and
deserve this win."

The IceMen hit the road next weekend for a three
game trip to Detroit and Chi-Town, before returning
home to take on the Revolution again on Saturday,
November 29th.
